I am writing a new book. It is called "Proper Nutrition: Energy Without Doping" (in Russian: «Правильное питание: энергия без допинга»).
But before I tell you about the book, let me tell you why it matters.
Food is more than half of success
Twenty years of wrestling, combat sambo, and MMA taught me one brutal truth: proper nutrition is more than half of your success in sports. You can have the perfect program, the best coach, iron discipline — but if you eat garbage, you will not recover, you will not grow, you will not perform.
And it is not just sports. What you eat decides your health, your quality of life, your daily energy. A man who eats right wakes up ready. A man who eats wrong drags himself through the day and wonders why he is tired.
Most people get this backwards. They obsess over the workout and ignore the plate. They buy expensive supplements hoping for a shortcut. There are no shortcuts. There is only honest food, eaten right, every day.
What the book covers
"Proper Nutrition" is not a diet book. It is a practical guide to eating for energy, strength, and health — without doping, without magic pills, without overpriced powders.
It covers what actually works: simple principles, real food, timing that makes sense for people who train and work hard. Everything in it passed through my own life first — through training camps, through twelve-hour taxi shifts, through years when money was tight and the food had to be simple and effective.
No theory copied from the internet. Only what works.
When is it coming
The Russian edition is in production right now — the audiobook is being recorded as we speak. The English edition ("Alpha Fuel") will follow.
And there is a second book in the works too — about good habits, and why bad ones take root so easily. But that is a story for another article.
The bottom line
You cannot out-train a bad diet. You cannot out-supplement it either. Fix the food first — everything else gets easier: the training, the recovery, the energy, the life.
I will announce the release date here first.
